Preferred vendors provide the PulsePoint Foundation with a consistent environment that makes the deployment of PulsePoint simple and straightforward.

Preferred vendors have several competitive advantages over non-preferred vendors and are eligible for foundation sponsorship of events and end-user grant programs.

Below are the four requirements for preferred vendor status:

1. Real-time Data
Provide read-only access to real-time dispatch system data. A wide variety of methods are supported.

2. Required Data Points
Dispatch system data must include the data elements contained in the standard PulsePoint Statement of Work.

3. Live Site
Have a minimum of one certified production site.

4. Support
Supply both an administrative and technical point of contact to assist the foundation when necessary.
